Findo Gask

Another NEW BAND (kind of) Don't know why I haven't heard of these before but stumbled across them today, obviously i'm out of touch (hell even the guardian knew about them before me)...



Findo Gask are brilliant indie electro/twee (electwee or tweelectro?) pop. Formed 4 years ago, the scottish quartet have a pop aesthetic; guitar riffs intersperced perfectly and drenched with layers of synths and casiotones providing a very 80s sound. Songs like One eight zero are simply amazing slices of perfect electro-pop... it shows la roux up for the talentless piece of shit she is (i just like insulting her at any given time). Whereas metronymic sounds more folkish.

One of the best elements of the band is their "twee-ish" and admittedly pop vocals (reminding me of grammatics) high pitched and scottish... Use of gang vocals is also quite well done, Its like if you cut grammatics vocals, mystery jets choruses, great eskimo hoax's song writing, some 80s synth samples and stuck some danananakyroyd riffs over the top... but better.

I'm not in the habit of claiming links as my own: download here
